Forecasts

Pride Of Pimlico (3/1), Burning Lake (13/2), The Bog Bank (7/1), Brosna Empress (8/1), Phoenix Open (10/1), Skontonovski (11/1), Boasty (12/1), Beleaguerment (12/1), Fascinating Spirit (12/1), Tynamite (12/1), Haayem (16/1), Power Of Lazarus (16/1), Kellmar (16/1), Raffaello (25/1), California Poppy (33/1), Little Camacho (40/1), Minky (100/1)

THE BOG BANK produced her best effort for some time when second at Bellewstown 3 weeks ago and having been eased 4 lb since back on the AW, she is certainly weighted to strike. Burning Lake and Pride of Pimlico are just a couple of potential dangers.
